...... Isn't sag the one that was just up in arms over AI? Wasn't that a huge part of the fucking protests?

The SAG protests were pretty transparently about protecting old money. Actors with hundreds to thousands of hours of footage already out there that can be easily turned into AI models.

You only need like an hour of clear voice samples to train an AI VA. More is better, but even a half hour can be enough to be passable.
